Our planet’s regenerative capacity is being greatly exceeded as the
world’s population is now producing and consuming more resources than
ever. How we use and dispose of non-renewable resources is radically
altering our ecosystems and even the planet’s renewable resources (such
as water, timber or fish) are rapidly being exhausted. We have now
reached a tipping point where the quality of air and water needs to be
improved, the level of production needs to be balanced and the amount of
waste generated needs to be reduced.

Sustainable consumption is all about ‘doing more and better with
less,’ through reducing resource use, degradation and pollution while
increasing the quality of life for all.

The massive consumption of both renewable and nonrenewable resources
contributes to a massive loss of biodiversity – with current extinction
rates of birds, mammals and amphibians estimated to be at least 100
times, but possibly over 1,000 times, higher than pre-industrial rates.
The poorest population is most affected by such changes giving that they
rely directly on natural resources — such as fishing, small-scale
agriculture or forestry — for their livelihoods.

Pollution and over-exploitation of the world’s resources are
increasingly compromising our own well being and quality of life. A
transition towards a more sustainable lifestyle is crucial to enable
future generations to have access to their fair share of resources.

There are many possibilities as for how we can change our
unsustainable consumption habits while also improving our quality of
life.

Click Here to be a part of the greening revolution.The simplest way to combat climate change is to plant trees: Trees
breathe in Carbon Di Oxide and through the process of photo-synthesis
create food for themselves and breathe out Oxygen.

At Sustainable Green Initiative, we plant trees to help the fight
against climate change and also hunger, poverty and rural migration. By
planting a tree you help in doing your bit to mitigate your carbon
footprint and carry on the fight against hunger, poverty and climate
change.
